CollegePath LA CollegePath LA (CPLA) has helped over 100 Marshall students help with college exploration and applications over the last two years. As we expand our program, we would like to partner with alumni to provide even more services. Here are ways you can get involved: 1. SAT Preparation Classes: Despite strong grades, many of our Marshall students do not score well on the SATs and this limits their college options. We know that familiarization with the testing format can help significantly. We are raising money to offer professional test prepara- tion classes. Our goal is to provide classes to 60 students for a cost of $7,000. This will include 22 hours of instruction, and three simulated tests. We have received a matching grant from the Mitzvah Fund for $3,500, and we are hoping you will match this fund dollar for dollar. Please support the SAT Prep Class with a donation. Checks should be made payable to the JMHS Alumni Association, with CPLA in the memo section. No amount is too small. 2. Career Exploration: It is clear that motivation is key to keeping students engaged in school and a dream career often creates this motivation. In September, College Counselor Tricia Bryan organizes a College and Career Fair in conjunction with back-to-school night (date TBA). We would like to expand this fair. If you are interested in participating, please email Tricia Bryan at [email protected]. Thank you in advance for supporting these important efforts. Please feel free to contact us for any reason.

  • Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the Presenting Sponsor
    present the Environmental Media Awards Celebrating OUTSTANDING achievement within the ENTERTAINMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL communities #EMAAWARDS Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the presenting sponsor Good evening ladies and gentleman, On behalf of Toyota and Lexus, welcome to the 27th annual Environmental Media Awards! Tonight we are honored to serve as presenting sponsors and celebrate the 17th anniversary of our partnership with the Environmental Media Association. Over the past 17 years, we’ve helped honor the thought leaders that inspire millions to lead more environmentally conscious lives. Tonight we continue to celebrate the efforts of the entertainment industry and celebrities that shape our culture. After all these years, we are still inspired by EMA’s efforts to promote environmental awareness using the powerful medium of entertainment. Tonight we’ve brought an inspiring vehicle line up to the party. The 2017 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle returns to the green carpet. As one of the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid- size sedan with performance that fully competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but uses no gasoline. Instead, Mirai creates electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, and emits nothing but water vapor in the process. Lexus is excited to showcase its all-new hybrid luxury sedan, the LS 500h. With smooth power and an estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway, it has a range of more than 600 miles of luxurious driving. On sale in February 2018 with a starting price around $80,000, the LS 500h will be the luxury sedan of choice for environmentally minded drivers.

OCTOBER 18, 2013 FORBES INDIA The BEST THINGS MONEY CAN VOLUME 5 ISSUE 21 BUY How Cars INDIA Bikes To Private Jets OCTOBER 18, 2013 Gadgets Think Food Adventure Watches ÜBER Wine Whisky RICH and more... THE BEST THINGS MONEY CAN BUY Understatement is the hallmark of true luxury, says Vikas Oberoi www.forbesindia.com LETTER FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Rich Is a State of Mind ahul Gandhi was perhaps on to something when he said some time back that poverty is a state of mind. What he did not elaborate R on was how this state of mind has become the guiding principle in Indian political discourse. Politicians love poverty, since it gives them endless opportunities to tax everybody and everything and focus on pork-barrel schemes to “alleviate” this condition. Sorry, we don’t buy this. We think it is glorious to be rich, especially when it is the result of our own eff orts. It is time to rekindle the spirit of human aspiration by changing our thinking. We should foster richness rather than poverty as a state of mind. It requires no genius to tell us that it is aspiration that creates growth and wealth. It is in the process of aspiring INDIA for something and making eff orts to meet our desires that we collectively end up pushing growth. In the process, we also pull everybody up to a better life. It is with this attitude in mind that we present this luxury special where we focus on The Best Things Money Can Buy, among other things.

  • Joe Polish Interviews John Paul Dejoria
    Joe Polish Interviews John Paul Dejoria Joe: You've all heard the expression, "It's not where you start, it's where you finish." That's sure true for your first speaker this morning, the person I'm going to be interviewing. He's born in Los Angeles, the son of immigrants, raised by a single mother, having to sell Christmas cards and newspapers at age nine to help support his family. Joined a street gang as a teenager and was headed in the wrong direction. Then he joined the US Navy. After serving his country, he got a job as a janitor, then pumping gas, then selling encyclopedias. Then he became homeless. Let me stop here. If these facts were given to you and you were told to fast forward his life and write an ending, would you ever think you write this? Now, John Paul DeJoria is listed in Forbes 400 worth $3.1 billion. How can that happen? Well, we'll find out as I interview a very special man. Please welcome to the stage, my friend, John Paul DeJoria. John Paul: Thanks Joe. Joe: Thank you sir. Thank you. Here we are. Look at all these ... John Paul: All these geniuses? Joe: Yeah, shiny, happy people. First off, thank you so much for coming down. You flew down here. Really, really honored. I did a interview with John Paul last year and I've interviewed over 400 really smart people from Richard Brands and [inaudible 00:01:25] all kinds of people. Forbes did an article on the ten most inspirational interviews that I've ever done, and I listed him as one of them because what you had to say when we had that conversation was amazing.
